Wait...Baez walked?!?

No struck out looking

[Gilby]

Looks like Alcantara was PH for at Iowa. I assume he'll be Nico's replacement. He seems like he could be interesting, right? Either way that hammy looked like a bad one

Ha

 

I meant previously. But I believe you knew that.

[Tim]

Ryan Tepera is a bad man.

[d_money]

Joc building his trade value

[CubinNY]

Jake rebounded after a shaky start, good game.

F U we are winning the division.

Kimbrel unfazed by the lead off double. Nice work.

[UMFan83]

Nice save Kimbrel. Too early to look at standings of course but if the Sox score holds the Cubs will be 0.5 out.

[ChiCubsFan]

This bullpen is nasty

The starters are gonna have little room for error. If we only had a lock down TOR guy....

No way Ricketts ever shells out for a time machine.

The Cards lock down, TOR guy has given up seven runs so far today.

At one point he had given up 5 runs on 1 hit

Four runs unearned. Three errors and a WP in 2IP.

The Cubs are 6-4 against the Pirates with a -5 RD and 4 of those wins are by 1 run. Despite having the 2nd worst ERA in the NL this year the Pirates have held the Cubs to 5 runs or less in all 10 games.

 

I swear I’m not trying to horsefeathers on the victory, I just thought those numbers were interesting, some of the weird baseball anomaly horsefeathers. Either way the Pirates are due for a pounding

[Cubswin11]

We have the best RD in the division and probably 1 more Cardinals loss away from having the only positive RD in the division

It is very annoying how our offense turtles up against them. Braves waltz in and drop 40 runs in 4 games against them and we've scored 34 in 10 if my math is correct. Their staff is 25th overall in ERA, the rotation 29th. I agree, something has to give.

 

Just got home and watched the condensed game. That Nico injury looked really really bad. Hope Alcantara hits the ground running. He has zero power but seems to have a good plan at the plate. But he may simply be overpowered in the zone.
